Today here in Mexico and different parts of America we celebrate Dia de Reyes (Three Wise Men day) so if you leave your shoe out of the house they will bring you goodies, I didn´t get anything because probably some cat stole my shoe but thats ok because I´m getting the best part (in my opinion).Part of the celebration is eating Rosca de Reyes wich is a bread with dried fruits sugar and is super yummy. The fun part is that inside it has little figures in the shape of a kid called "el muñequito" the little doll. And the person who gets them (depending on the size of the rosca you get around 3) they have to buy tamales for February 2nd which is the Virgin of the Candelaria day and you celebrate by eating. That is one of the things I love about Mexico every celebration you get to eat.
We are going to two celebrations of Rosca tonight one with our friend Vanessa at her scrapbook store and one with our friend Julia at her mom´s house. So we have a fun and yummy evening ahead of us and I leave you with a recipe to make your own Rosca de Reyes.

Yummy! What a fun holiday!
